For Extrapyramidal Reaction "Been on high-dose antipsychotics, which gave me tremors over time. Artane significantly improved my symptoms arising from antipsychotics and relaxed both internal (stomach and intestine), which was greatly slowing my food transit and relaxing external muscles, i.e., tremors. Safer than Benzos and non-habit forming. Would recommend."

For Parkinson's Disease "When I take Carbidopa/Levodopa, one of the side effects is a strong chemical odor in my nose, and a chemical or bile taste in the mouth. It might not sound like much, but over time, this odor is punishing and demoralizing. Artane/Trihexyphenidyl has greatly helped in reducing the odor issue with the Carbidopa and Levodopa. For now, it has helped improve my quality of life."
